Im looking for a good mechanical keyboard for my moms house. Except the desk i have over there is very small and even on a 5000 dpi i dont have much room to move my mouse around. I want a mechanical keyboard but it needs to be ten keyless. Any suggestions?

definitely Coolermaster, same quality as Filco as they are from the same OEM, plus they have multiple models with multiple Cherry key kinds, I got my Quickfire TK Blue for $80, and you can get them cheaper if you get the more basic ones

Just because some CM mechanical keyboards come from the same factory as Filco doesn't mean the quality/quality control is the same. Only the CM QFR and Storms trooper is made by Costar. Other ten keyless designs are from other OEM. 

 

Remember folks, you get what you pay.

Quickfrie TK?

It is only one key-row wider than a normal tenkeyless, but it has a numberpad with the arrow keys availble with numlock off.
